Durban FoOnK:
I´ll answer as much as I can but my advice is to try get hold of ewok (from Illuminating Shadows) on this site. He´ll give you all the info you want to know about durb´s hip hop and more.
I can´t tell u a hell of a lot cuz I´ve been doing my matric which takes the priority over my hip hop at the moment.
Top emcee is Raheem-he took part of battle in the year here in durbs and is representing durban in the hiphop indaba in cape town. F´n ill emcee-trust me!
Top djs are Lapse (1st in battle of the year in durbs) and Ghetto Smurf (2nd) , Papercut and MG Fresh (Illuminating Shadows)
Top groups-Illuminating Shadows- got ill tracks and an album if I´m not mistaken. Also GPM (Ghetto Prophecy Movement) + the Lab Rats.
BUT this is all in my opinion-all according to me.
At the BAT centre you´ll find hip hop sessions every thursday (usually starts bout 9 or 10ish). It´s not the best place to see durban´s talent though.
They also have gigs happening at the Playhouse Upstage Jazz Cafe + at Sideburn in Umbilo
Also Bling Free events at Albert Park.
There´s a lot more but I suggest speaking to Ewok-he´s a better source.
Don´t know what the cash story is about. Depends on the gig whether it gets full or not.
As a durbanite I say the scene here is beautiful! Yes, we still small but because of this we are not filled with suffocating posers and wanna-bes.The styles are purely underground-no fake a** shaking. Durban is very welcoming to fresh artists. It´s just a buildn´ hip hop community-we all support each other, help each other out. I´ve heard people who have visited durbs saying they just saw Ja Rule wanna-bes and shit. Well, I don´t know where those fools are looking ´cause where I go it´s pure local, it´s pure underground!
I suggest you come check it out for yourself but make sure you have informed connections here when you do otherwise you won´t know where to look.
Hope I helped.

It was Cypress Hill (and Dilated people) that first got me into hip hop. Thank you Cypress! Although Cypress also made me quite a stoner for a while :-P

Chief Rocka - Open Mic / Hard Times
« on: September 12, 2004, 09:51:00 PM »
Times are hard and when the going gets tough
don´t leave; be a warrior; be strong; believe.
Believe in yourself-even if you lack the wealth.
Believe in yourself-even if you lack the health.
And if you won´t do it for yourself-do it for someone else.
´Nil illigitimus desperandum´-latin for don´t let the bastards get you down.
Just a family secret pa**ed down to me
and now pa**ed onto you-my hip hop family.
We´re one-a unity-the hip hop community.
If hip hop was human it would say: "Stop usin´ me!"
If hip hop was human it would say: "Stop abusin´ me!"
"This fake commercial a** bull shit is not amusin´ me!"
It´s fusin´ me-we tear down instead of build each other up
for the fight in the struggle against this world´s kuk.
Shut!-your mouth if you come to me with racism.
There will be no ´one colour´ replace-ism.
We are all one face-the very image of God.
Black, white, indian, coloured -equality´s visage.
A rainbow is nothing one colour on its own
but all together makes up this home-South Africa.
This beautiful country I am so proud of!
This beautiful country I´m so proud to be a part of!
South African hip hop is definately going somewhere-
to the top-to the center of every head´s heart.
See, I´m a hip hop head but I´m also a heart
´cause it´s hip hop that gets pumped through every vein of me
and even to the place visually unseen-my soul...-your soul.
So when you get stuck in the hole and it´s taking its toll
just remember what I told you.
That hip hop is each of us together as a whole
and if one of us goes-hip hop will know. :-W

General Discussion / CALLING ALL SISTAS
« on: September 10, 2004, 11:28:00 PM »
I haven´t checked out Hype, starting to think I should.
From my side, I´m not focusing on recording anthin´ yet + that´s why we need a group so we can get 100%, get our styles 100% and then focus on getting out there. Frankly I don´t think I´m ready for recording yet, but that´s another problem is that we all on different levels. So let´s just get to know each other first.
Me I write, sing, and wish I could freestyle.
So Naturelle, you a dj? That´s a good thing ´cause I´ve been thinking of starting myself. + you could help me out when I first begin. Anyway I´m gonna pm you about that now.

Thanks Maddstone. You the one who gave me the idea now we all just buildin´ on it.
Ok machiavella sounds good, how should we communicate with each other? Right here, pm or email?
But I am interested in what my sistas do? Emcee, poetess, dj, b-girl, graffiti artist or anything different?

Yea distance is a bitch but if we can try regardless of the distance then let´s give it a go. Come on where all the sistas, we need all of ya!
Well I´m gonna "keep on sayin´ the same shit again and again, again and again like a scratched out cd or something" ´cause maybe then my message will get through better.
If i had to have seen a post like this a year ago-I would have chickened out. But like I´m saying I´m not a professional + that´s why we need each other-to learn, to teach, to become. Even if you think you wack hit me back-I mean hey, you might think I´m wack ;-) There´s no point in waiting-the time is now girls!
I´m not quite sure how we gonna do this; point is we gonna do it. We just need to put our heads together (pun intended) and make it happen.
Big up Naturelle, we need more sistas like you!

Hot Traxxx / New Skwatta Kamp album September
« on: September 09, 2004, 09:12:00 PM »
yea I definatley agree with Naturelle. I´ve been tellin´ peeps this all the time. Khut en Joyn was pure Skwatta, f´n loved that album but for me Mkhukhu Funkshen didn´t reach my high expectations that Khut en Joyn left me with.

I dunno if I´m gonna get a response but I´m trying for the sake of all my sistas out there. I´m tryna get together a bunch of us to march through the S.A hip hop industry together. Now I´m not sayin´ we goin´ right now; I´m just sayin´ if any female emcees, poets, djs or whatever wanna start a group and start doing something together slowly then the opportunity is here. ´Cause frankly I think it´s a lot harder for us females to make it on our own. We can each teach each other a lot and bring our individual styles together. I was taking my own path but now I rate (as a good suggestion by Maddstone) that we should at least try and collaberate together and see what happens. And don´t be a chicken ´cause that won´t get you to the top. Come on sistas let´s work together on this, even if you not professional it doesn´t matter; we can all learn a lot form each other; help each other out. And I know you out there so take a chance. Even if you not so sure right now, it´s fine just hit me back anyway. Reply or pm me.
